In Saturday’s primetime clash between the ACC and SEC, No. 14 Clemson gave its conference
a much-needed boost and downed Auburn, 26-19. Senior tailback Andre Ellington rushed for 231

SEC opponent, falling 35-21 to Tennessee. Wolfpack coach Tom O’Brien told reporters Monday
that cornerback C.J. Wilson would be suspended for four games due to eligibility issues … The
